MegaForce (1982)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

not as good as all the hype

Awesome Movie

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Introducing a skinny action hero who looks like he wandered off from a Bee Gees tribute act. He and his troops gad about on bikes and dune buggies. They shoot at things that explode even when they are not hit.Things go bang. Nobody appears to die. Clunky 'buddy' dialogue is exchanged. Things go bang again. The hero's hair remains unruffled.Persis Khambatta looks lovely (as always) although she struggles with the dialogue. The baddie chews the scenery in the approved manner. Michael Beck's career continues the downward slide that started after his excellent performance in 'The Warriors'. In this movie, his character is a bit like Kevin Bacon's from 'Tremors', only in a not very good way.Did I mention that things go bang? Ace Hunter's teeth outshine even his tight gold lamé jumpsuit. Thumbs are kissed.And at least the blue-screen flying scene is more convincing than the ones in 'Pumaman'.The whole thing is an absolute hoot, and everyone looked like they had great fun making it. For those who are too young to remember the Eighties, this film will educate you about that shiniest of decades.

This film just did not work, though as a kid I sort of liked it. Mainly because of the vehicles were kind of cool, now they look like toys that would not be useful in an actual battle. The plot was rather stupid then as I watched it as a kid and I can not remember all the details all I remember is the stupid final scene with that one dude flying on his motorcycle. I feel ashamed to have even liked this one as a kid even though as a kid I was more stupid. This one was just lame a lot. The fighting with the vehicles has its moments, but in the end the fights look like something from a live action kids action show. I am kind of surprised by how much this movie cost to make and from what it cost to make I can see it was pretty much a flop. Though I can see why, the plot is paper thin, the acting was not very good, and some of the stuff this movie presented is very bad. I am surprised the guy who directed Cannonball Run did this one, but now that I see that he did I can understand why the film seems a bit choppy. His movies are usually kind of a train wreck. And while that works in a comedy in an action movie it simply does not.

this is the stuff of legends....I agree entirely with trevor-k above. he hit all the nails exactly on the head.This is a baaad, cheesy, cliché movie that should probably have never been made but when you're a 11-12 yr old boy this is the best thing since sliced bread.my brother and I saw this (about 25 years ago) and thought it was the shizzle! (well, maybe excepting star wars of course), and the next week we went to see something else and decided, Sod it! lets see MEGFAFORCE again!! woohoo!!! This is the kind of movie Homer Simpson would make, says it all really....

I was very excited as a kid when this movie was being released to the theaters. The US Military was apparently on location studying this one on location to design the future of warfare.It was STUNNING when Leonard Maltin reviewed this film on television and was so offended by it that he gave it a ZERO out of ten.My childhood friend and I went to see it on the opening weekend and were completely blown away by it's crazy energy. Adding to the amazement of the day was that the theater was almost totally empty. We 'owned' the place, as if the film was made totally for us.Back then all we had was allowance money, but decided that we *HAD* to see it again. We considered rushing back that week, but decided to wait for the following weekend and to our horror it was gone! It was one of the tackiest movies ever made, but the energy was like Rambo II on steroids."Normal" people will probably never bother with this one, but if you do watch at *LEAST* the first 10 minutes, and see the ultra cool military-machinegun-rocket-motor bike intro scene. The music and editing made me want to join Megaforce.Never before, and never again shall we see one like this...and but for we happy few, the whole world missed it. The audience for this one were as few and elite as the Megaforce itself! I still laugh with glee about this film.
